Re: Besides your T, what other Ford would you wish to own?
May be considered too new for this group, but I would like to get my hands on a gen 3 galaxie 500 some day. I love the look of the stacked headlights, and it would be nice to have a classic car that keeps pace with traffic. It would be cool to find one built as the police interceptor, but I don't ha...

Re: TT prices
We built our TT because you rarely see them at shows in Oregon. We went a different route than most in building a tow truck. The height issue is real. My TT needs 8'6" of clearance. The cab itself is about 7'10". I'm running 700 tires on the rear so that adds a little bit of height. If you plan on t...

I think the pieces missing are the locking pieces that go where the holes are in the rim. You should also have the retention ring. I've attached a photo of our rebuilt wheels. The outer ring and lock ring are both in silver but you can see the split.

Have a set of Rocky mountain brakes for a TT, but no rods. We can build rods, but we are playing with the idea of using cable instead. Not sure if anyone has given this a shot before and if they ran into any issues.
